About this listen

 In early March 2026, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni faces one of the most critical geopolitical crises of her tenure as Iran launches attacks on neighboring countries, oil markets surge, and Italy confronts questions about U.S. military bases on its soil. Host Vanessa Clark examines Meloni's response strategy—from convening urgent energy security meetings and deploying naval forces to Cyprus, to her government's unprecedented condemnation of U.S. military action as outside international law—while simultaneously advancing the Mattei Plan to expand Italian influence across 18 African nations. This episode reveals the delicate balancing act between managing a volatile security crisis, facing fierce parliamentary opposition demanding direct accountability, and pursuing long-term strategic positioning that could define Meloni's legacy.
